Large bench made from the tree that stood in the grounds.
I am working on yet another piece and thought I’d share me project so far with you guys. The Magnolia ‘Salicifolia’ tree had stood in the grounds of the Inner Temple on London’s Thames for over 80 years but due to a fungus it had to come down. My original plan was to use the timber as a practice piece that I could use my new Arbortech grinder on, however whilst the guys where cutting the tree down the girl in charge of the gardens asked what I would do with the timber and she said that the gardens would probably buy the piece back from me. Win Win situation. Some pictures of the cutting and a few design ideas. Comments always welcome.
